Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Crime Story (1993)
Review: This film has NO comedy in it. Infact it isn't known to be a usual comedy/action but a crime/thriller/action. This movie is based on a true story. Jackie plays a cop whose emoptional state is shaken by a recent bloddy encounter with terrorists. When Jackie's assigned to bring back the kidnapped businessman, it's a test of Jackie's emotional stability and Jackie's skills as an officer.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Jackie Chan can act!
Review: This is not your typical Jackie Chan movie. No comedy here, and the action pieces are not the wild everyting-plus-the-kitchen-sink brawling you'd expect. Still, there are some very exciting moments, and some good stunts in this one, plus a little more of a plot than you usually get with Chan. The big thing is, though, this film proves Jackie really is a fine actor, and when he gets too old for Kung Fu, he has a career as an actor to fall back on! (Not to mention director, choreographer, producer, etc.)

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Jackie goes serious.
Review: This is not your typical Jackie movie, this is Jackie in serious mode. Although the film has some of the best martial artistry of Jackie and lots of action, like buildings burning and blowing up and some intense car chases fans didn't like it. You don't see Jackie in silly situations and fooling around. This was an attempt by Jackie to expand his range and he got the respect as a serious actor because he won the Taipei's best actor award. It's also interesting to know that the film was originally developed for Jet Li but he had a falling out with Golden Harvest. If you like stunts and action buy this one, if you like a silly Jackie don't.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Not the comedy you'd expect, but excellent none the less.
Review: This is one movie that proves that Jackie Chan is actually a good actor and not just your run-of-the-mill action star. It shows a serious side to Jackie which is really good. Great action scenes and good fight scenes even though they are not like his other fight scenes, having ten thousand hits a second. I would recommend this to anyone.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: all of his movies rock
Review: totally awesome
